Lawrie Wilson is set for a move to the Championship - with Peterborough United one of two clubs to have tabled a bid for the winger.

The Comet revealed earlier today on Twitter that Gary Smith said Boro had been ‘in conversation with Peterborough and one or two teams’, and since then the club has officially said that they expect their valuation will be met and that Wilson is likely to leave the club.

Wilson joined Stevenage in 2007 from Colchester United and is equally comfortable at right-back or on the right wing.

As Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership waits for an announcement on government funds which could be used to revamp Stevenage railway station and begin the transformation of the town centre, Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland has claimed it does not have the backing of millions of pounds of private funds it has suggested.
